President Emmanuel Macron Friday denounced what he described as an “antisemitic hydra” that had crept into “every crack” of society two decades after Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old French Jewish man, was tortured to death.

Macron decried what he called “Islamist antisemitism which was behind the pogrom of October 7,” referring to the attack against Israel on October 7, 2023.
